Hello, I am hoping to get some information. I am a beginner keeper of Tortoises. I currently own a Bell's Hingeback Tortoise that was given to me by a friend. The Tortoise is quite happy and doing well.
The reason for my post is this. I was wondering if a Bell's Hingeback (male) and a Red Foot Tortoise (male or female) could be housed in the same enclosure? Also how big would this enclosure have to be for both of them to be happy?
From my own experience the Hingedback males seem very territorial. I would be very leery of the 2 males if one were a hingedback. It would be better to have seperate enclosures for them and then see if they get along under close supervision when outside grazing.
Just my 2 cents worth.
I would love to see a picture of your male.
